To bake meatHi everybody!
I was wondering if it's correct to say "to bake meat" ... If I'm not mistaken... I think that the verb "to bake" is only for things related to the bakery business... so, what do you think?
thank you in advance
How about to roast it?I have never heard of 'baking" meat
me neither... the first thing about meat in my head is roasting itTo bake meat
I have never heard of 'baking" meat
I'm thinking.....Don't you need some water to bake things? And I don't think meat is watery.....Doesn't it get toasted outside but still raw inside?me neither... the first thing about meat in my head is roasting it
(By the way, I'm a vegetarian)Can you give some context for this?Hi everybody!
thank you in advance
There is a term, "baked meats" = means meat-pie. “The funeral baked meats did coldly furnish forth the marriage table” (Hamlet); i.e. the hot meat-pies (venison pasties) served at the funeral and not eaten, were served cold at the marriage banquet.
Technically meat that is cooked in an oven is baked, not roasted. Roasting requires the meat to be cooked in front of/over an open fire.
I love to cook and yes, you can bake meat. More commonly, meat will be roasted or broiled, but people to bake meat for a long slow cook . . but I guess then that would also be roasting.
In many recipe directions, you will see:
Preheat oven to 250 and bake for 2 hours.
I actually believe, that roast, depends more on the meat . . usually you roast a whole piece of meat . . when I say this . . I mean like A whole chicken, or a pork roast.

Baking involves dry heat, usually on a hot surface.
Roasting originally meant cooking by direct exposure to fire.
For some reason, when I cook food in an oven, I bake the things I could buy in a bakery and I bake potatoes, apples and pies. I roast meat.
That is not a comprehensive list.

Hi,
If I were to cook a meat loaf in my oven, I would bake it.

Exactly WordLover, I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier, but every Thanksgiving . . I bake a ham.
well here goes the context: "...the whole family comes together to enjoy each other, to interchange presents and to eat meat baked that day" ... yes, I know what's meat-pie... that is why I think the sentence above is not correct ... or at least acurate...
I don't know much about cooking... it's just that somehow "to bake meat" does not sound good to me and my doubts come because I'm not a native... and if roasting meat is the same as baking meat for a long slow cook... well... so, is it more common to say to roast meat? ...
Here something from my dictionary (Longman Contemporary English):I'm thinking.....Don't you need some water to bake things? And I don't think meat is watery.....Doesn't it get toasted outside but still raw inside?
roast to cook something such as meat, in an oven or over fire.
bake to cook something using dry heat, in an oven.
So, I think it doesn't matter wheter you use bake or roast, uh?
ok
thank you everybody!
Well, it may be because no one would say "I'm about to bake meat."
But rather, I'm baking a ham. I'm baking a meatloaf. I'm baking shepherd's pie . . which also contains meat.

In all actuality that would depend on if you're roasting or baking. HMMMM . . Maybe I can find a recipe site definition for both of these words . . give me a moment.ok LaReinita... so I have to be more specific to use "to bake", otherwise the use of "to roast" is better (for meat)
thank you
I've never heard of baking meat, except in a pie - all pies are baked.
Like panj, I'd bake bread, apples, potatoes, cakes, biscuits and pies.
I'd roast meat, vegetables and potatoes.
As potatoes appears in both lists lets look at the difference: A baked potato is placed whole directly onto the oven shelf, whereas roast potatoes are cooked in oil in the oven. However, roast meat isn't cooked in oil! Oh dear! Perhaps it roasts in it's own juices. Baked meat must be very dry.
